I put together seven cards with the supplies of three from the Painted Wishes Kit from the Kits Collection and thought I’d share with you my variations so that you too can do the same and expand your whole kit of nine cards to get twenty-one altogether.
This kit does not contain a stamp set. The sentiments come pre-printed. Because of that you are limited to nine sentiment labels unless you choose to use more than one language (the kit has 9 labels in each of these languages: English, French, German, and Dutch). So what I did was supplement with sentiment imagery from the Layering Leaves stamp set. And I used the extra labels in different ways…stamping on the backsides or covering the words with other pieces.
If you decide to follow the kit directions, you can assemble these 9 cards shown below: three each of these three designs. They are pretty, right? But again…I’ll be sharing how I took the pieces and spread them out a bit more to make more than double the amount of cards.
Here are my seven made from the supplies of three. AND the designs are still very simple. There are no fancy folds, no techniques, no tricks or anything that requires much concentration.
Let’s start with these first designs. Now to remind you, I’m sharing seven cards that I made with the supplies of the three different kit cards. So if you want to expand the whole kit to get twenty-one total, just multiply my amounts in the measurements by three.
One card has the pre-printed Pretty Peacock circle sentiment. The other one used a sentiment circle stamped on the back side with Pretty Peacock ink.
Measurements…
- Pretty Peacock Cardstock
- (2) 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored parallel to the short side at 4-1/4″
- Floral kit card layer
- (2) 2-1/8″ x 5-1/2″ (just cut the front half of the kit card in half)
- White kit card layer
- (2) 2-3/4″ x 4-1/4″ (just cut the back half of the kit card in half)
Both sentiment circles were added with Dimensionals. And then I embellished with Pretty Peacock self-adhesive sequins from the kit. (If you need more, you can get some in the Adhesive-Backed Sequins Trio which I added to the supply list below.)
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
The next two cards look like this.
Measurements…
- Pretty Peacock Cardstock
- (2) 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored parallel to the short side at 5-1/2″
- Floral envelope layer
- (2) 4″ x 4-3/8″
- White envelope layer
- (2) 3-3/8″ x 4-1/2″
- Gold Cord
- (2) 11″
- Lemon Lime Twist kit layer
- (2) First cut to just under 1-5/8″ x 3-1/4″ then punch on each end
My non-English sentiment labels were added horizontally with Dimensionals after I had taped the Gold Cord on the underside so the curls were sticking out. Then I stamped the Lemon Lime Twist* punched labels (see measurements above) with Pretty Peacock ink and added them with Dimensionals. I embellished a bit more with gold sequins which you can get from either the Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins or the Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins.
*If this is too much green for you, you can stamp on the white side instead.
The last three cards look like this. The one in the bottom right has almost the same measurements and is assembled the same as the cards above. So I’ll share those card measurements first.
Measurements for the bottom right card…
- Pretty Peacock Cardstock
- 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored parallel to the short side at 5-1/2″
- Floral envelope layer
- 1-3/4″ x 4-1/4″
- White envelope layer
- 3-3/8″ x 4-1/2″
- Gold Cord
- 11″
- Lemon Lime Twist kit layer
- First cut to just under 1-5/8″ x 3-1/4″ then punch on each end
The other two are assembled almost like the original kit cards with just a few differences.
Measurements for the top right card…
- Petal Pink kit card base
- 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored parallel to the short side at 4-1/4″
- Floral kit card layer
- 3-7/8″ x 4-3/4″
- Gold Cord
- 11″
- Lemon Lime Twist kit layer
- The leftover piece (about 3/16″ x 3-3/8″)
I first attached the the Lemon Lime Twist strip to the bottom of the sentiment piece with tape. After adding this sentiment strip to the card front with Dimensionals, I added a bow of Gold Cord with Glue Dot from the kit and embellished with a few Pretty Peacock sequins.
Measurements for the left card…
- Pretty Peacock kit card base
- 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored parallel to the short side at 4-1/4″
- Floral kit card layer
- 3-7/8″ x 5-1/16″
This was the simplest card to put together. The sentiment label was added with Dimensionals. And I added three Pretty Peacock sequins.
So again if you wish to expand the number of cards you can get from this kit, just add some extra cardstock and envelopes, a few extra sequins, some stamped words from one of your favorite stamp set, and some tools for creating.
Because this kit doesn’t include a stamp set and ink (it has preprinted sentiments) you are not paying for any extra supplies that you won’t use by getting more than one. So feel free to purchase a bunch! 😉
